Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in a relaxed farmhouse setting in Cornwall, the former Slowdive members heavily embraced slow, twang-infused acoustic arrangements. The resulting atmosphere is remarkably languid, wrapping Neil Young-inspired country-rock in a haze of gentle reverb and delicate pedal steel.

Genres

Descriptors: ballad, dreamy, folk, gentle, stripped-down
